M1/M2 Carbines in Ken Burns "Vietnam" on PBS

I did not go into the Army until 1974 at age 22.

I did the same except I was 17...

I see you have a rubber handled M4. Those were in high demand a few years back, bringing high prices. I found a source here and sold a few that I bought at $10CDN each. They ranged from as new to complete junk, had come from somewhere in the Pacific I think.
